Homer Simpson made roster construction look so easy. I am a failure.

Well on your list of backups you have Peterson twice so one of him for sure

It's the crown jewel of the sovereign republic of alberta

Probably the best example of a guy who flew under the radar of posters but turned into a ******* good player is Clarence Denmark.

You should root for him - I am! Quick feet and good eyes!

Wonder how much the riders will win the grey cup by today...

I think we will see more MCI out of backfield...even spot out wide on a 2 back set...Clercius should be rotated in and with Neild and at times as the 5th. I just cant see the logic of going 3 Canadians full time as we dont have the depth or talent for it really. Clercius is perfect for the main Canadian backup and used in specific packages based on down and distance and position on field. Daniels in my opinion shouldnt be expected to take a lot of offensive reps other than in jumbo packages and ones where we actually using a TE as an actual option, and in and around the goaline We need a 5th receiver who is a speed guy or a big bodied athlete to win contested balls

pace is a good get.

You mean Juran Bolden 2.0

Denmark was so smooth in his route running. Just got open.

I like that he can play any of the Line Backer positions and Safety.

Agree - He won both agility drills at the cfl combine this year posting a 4.01 shuttle/6.82 3-cone which for a 223 lb’r is impressive.

First new rule shows up... no points on a punt that goes outta bounds in the endzone.

My first post so go easy on responses:) I have to agree about draft pick Stuart (#7 - on D) - frankly surprised he hasn’t gotten more mentions from his camp - disagree with early comments he’s just a ST body. My nephew played with him at Mac so I’ve seen many of his college games and he’s a legitimate top tier stud - elite in coverage, in the box and he tackles like a beast. Here’s a theory - because he’s a non counter - wonder if JY is hiding him with the 3’s until roster trimming is done. Apparently JY talks to him regularly - would be surprised if he isn’t rostered as he’s been taking reps with the 1’s on punt, and regular D reps with the 2’s and done well. With his size (220+) and movement he presents a ton of options - Boundary Safety, Half, SAM or WSLB. My nephew sent a great cut up of Stuart’s camp performance (pretty impressive: multiple picks/PBU’s and dominant in battle drills) - I’d post it but I don’t know how to upload video attachments?

Mike actually said as soon as schoen was signed what a good signing that was.

jsk done for the year. soo much for the 2nd time around . I hope it wasn’t a signing bonuses front end loaded deal

Kenny was generally regarded amongst this forum as the best of a bad batch of recruits by this forum. Looking back on old TC posts, the consensus on Schoen was not very positive until late into camp either. Most posters felt that he might have an outside shot at the PR with Blake and Lucky Jackson ahead of him. lmao. Same goes every TC, we grouse about what the coaches were thinking at final cuts and then understand later. Bottom line...spending an afternoon watching camp does not tell the story of any one of our recruits. To say our receiver/DL prospects are a bust right now is pure speculation.

MCI has looked impressive and has really progressed...plus he already was real good on teams and it seems Condell see's the potential in him and he is gonna be a bigger piece of the offence this yr. He's a lock for the roster. Be interesting to see a spit backfield at times with BO and MCI and some motion with them....could become a real headache for defenses....MCI also has the ability to take it to the house, or gain huge chunks of real-estate from anywhere on the filed too....either with pure burst and elite top end speed....or running through people

Yes it's only pre season, and yes it's only Stamps hosting Gappers, but we officially have 2026 CFL football today .. by gar it's been awhile. Also, the "broadcast", if you want to call it that, is on the CFL website...

Good point on MCI, possibly bumping Peterson off. Agree on Hallett being toast. Do you see the 5th WR spot being more of a rotation of Clercius/MCI/Daniels?

When I was growing up in Pinawa in the 90s, the Niverville HC Dwight Hirst was an absolute superstar for Lac Du Bonnet in our minor hockey days. We had a comparable guy in Pinawa, but Hirst was lethal. Awesome to see him having so much success coaching. Good dude.

Turns out Warren Burrell has another connection to the club.

I think Pokey and White will be good, but itll take a while for every one to get on the same page as zach and the play book. Wr, QB, 2nd De. The spots to fill, and at this point Im ready for us to settle for the DE by committee. And I don't expect any thing of impact to be done at these spots all year. Honestly Im not worried about MCI as a blocker. He progressed a lot last year. I'm pretty confident he will do well. I'm mainly concerned on if he will become a usefull skill position player or not, his potential and draft spot are a lot to not make use of. He has looked better this camp as a tail back though. Novak I think they will find a way to get on. Kelly or stewart will make it as well. I think Kelly early, but I think we scored on Stewart.

While openly admitting that I'm an idiot who doesn't know anything, it definitely APPEARS that receiver is the most concerning spot on the team, followed somewhat closely by QB. -Im not sure that White is the elite superstar they think he is -Im not sure Pokey is better than Just Pretty Good -I don't trust Demski to stay healthy at his age -I think Nield is wildly overrated -Collaros has been trending downhill for at least two years and there's nobody behind him I sincerely hope that none of this ends up mattering in the long run, but ... One week into camp, this is what scares me most.

same with Chijoke Onyenegecha. I am just kidding, I just wanted to bring that name back for poops and giggles...

woo hoo football!!! For pre-season I'm pretty impressed with the quality. Just so happy to be watching my favorite sport, even if its two teams I despise. 👍

No doubt...most of us were looking him up on the roster page wondering if he was even in camp..lol

Some sloppiness, some nice plays... Definitely pre season. Calgary stadium still an embarrassing dump. Can't believe the GC is going to showcase that place on national TV.

Link from my nephew re camp video Stuart #7 For anyone interested. Not rooting for - just familiar with his play and think projects well.

I can tell you with certainty that every year roster guys fly completely under our radar on this forum. None of us attend camp or receive enough unbiased info to know who might surprise. Hope the guy you are rooting for is as good as you say because he would then have beat out some pretty good prospects.

lawler wasn’t a recruit he was a bc cut, but he was the best of a bad group of young guys. schoen was on fire from rookie camp on, tc was a bit more quiet as we had a lot of wrs getting reps then he did the same thing in pre season as he did in rc. You’re pressuring what it’s being based on. It simply isn’t as talent loaded as we’ve seen. Those bigger crops haven’t really panned out either, maybe someone like singer could step up and perform really well and our guys could stay healthy and it won’t even be an issue. But the reality is, this group doesn’t have the raw talent or the polish of groups we’ve brought in previously. Raw talent at wr really pops when you see guys in 1 on 1s and skelly. You can see the flashes very quickly and clearly. We just don’t have much of that this camp. Be it rookie camp or full camp this year. A bumper crop at a position doesn’t mean success. We’ve seen loaded dl/dt, lber, and wr groups before, that didn’t pan out at all. That doesn’t mean they we won’t have a guy who over achieves or is just a game day guy, but it is a bit disheartening. Imo, the cuts we’ve seen like smith who showed a bit early, is a strong indicator. We’ve seen 8 wrs cut and 1 new guy brought in. I expect we will ride with these guys and any one who doesn’t show out in pre season will be sent packing. I think we will cycle through cuts and continue to look to back fill wr talent. This crop might yield 1-2 guys who stick on the pr and that might only be for a bit. Pookie would be a strong case of a gamer. He had flashes but wasn’t lights out by any means. Even in the first 1/3, of his rookie year you didn’t think he’d be a 1k guy that year. I could see wilson taking a big step forward this year too.

Post all your prospects. Did CC just drop some spots with this announcement? https://www.tsn.ca/ncaa/hockey/article/carels-committs-to-north-dakota-as-he-prepares-for-nhl-draft/

yeah I think the last wr will rotate in package for sure. I think we are likely to see more heavy sets than 5 wide sets.

kenny was pretty good in his first camp, he came here mid to late in the season and was on our pr after a camp with the lions. A lot of optimism as wide spread after his first year playing in 19, more people doubted bailey would be worth keeping around

MOS and Younger decide who plays where. PERIOD. If Walters is giving orders on who plays where and when he should be fired. That would be gross over reach by a GM. Just to play devils advocate though, if KW did order MOS to move Kramdi to S, then isn't possible KW is ordering him to start extra NATs. That seems laughable to think a GM would do that doesnt it? If we are trotting out Corcoran game 1 that is an epic failure by both KW and KC.

Good calls on both but my question would be who comes off?

That relationship caused a “sticky” situation between Rod Black and Dave Stalla

I wasn't going to mention that interview as Mark always makes fun of me for bringing it up lol...same goes with the Rod Black/Sam Giguere "relationship"....
